Steps submitted: crop, exposure, wb in LR2, export to CS4, photokit sharpening to snail with mask, two curves adjustmet, hue/sat adjustment to master, created border, added text, resized.

When I created this poster I made an attempt to enter at the 200 file size limit, when it was rejected I realized it was a basic challenge. I remade the poster under the basic ruleset. Global USM produced the nearly the same results but with more artifact in the snail.

Lesson for me: keep a copy with the layers or write down the steps. If I had that I would not have made that error.

And you can't?

You told them you did some illegal something that you didn't do... and now you won't tell them that you were mistaken in your steps and tell the truth... what you really did? This makes no sense to me. If you made a mistake, tell them and let them decide if it could have been done the way it really was done. Really, Ben. If you didn't cheat, but said you did... then why not tell them now that you didn't? *sigh*

I did tell them, but I can't expect them to take me at my word.

Fantastic. Love the overlay effect, gives an otherwise static composition life. 8

Great concept. I didn't know overlays could be used! Maybe you shot through dirty glass, or something. High marks from me.
